We work with the best manufacturers in the winter sports industry, but occasionally defects do occur. If you think your product has a manufacturing defect please contact us. We'll work with the manufacturer to determine if their warranty covers the damage. Determining if the issue is a manufacturing defect is solely up to the manufacturer, not Powder7. Please note, this process can take several weeks and we will keep you updated as we correspond with the manufacturer.
We offer a preorder opportunity on a small amount of select items that are in high demand. We will ship these preorders when items become available to us. Preorder availability dates are based upon manufacturer estimated availability dates. Please understand that this is an estimate and can change based upon manfacturers' availability.

Watch Our Demo Ski Ratings Explained:
The Head Kore 85 W is the narrowest of the Kore family, proving itself as the resident frontside specialist. The sister ski to the Head Kore 87, the Kore 85 W packs the same ultra-damp but light construction into a narrower profile. This gives you a quicker and snappier feeling edge-to-edge. With a Karuba wood core and a Graphene fused tip and tail, you might be a little surprised when you pick up the skis at their feathery feel. But, don't be fooled by the weight. This ski charges hardpack. The shape and dampening construction of this ski allow you to lay it over like a race ski. Use it as your daily driver for hot-lapping groomers, or as your backcountry couloir crusher to navigate those variable conditions. Similar skis: Rossignol Experience 82 Ti W, Armada Reliance 82 Ti, Dynastar e-Pro 84.
